1) While it include a small gazetteer of India (a bit like in a Dream of Japan)...any chance of it touching the Neighbouring Nation China, Afghanistan, Ceylan (Sri Lanka), Pakistan (East (aka. Bangladesh) and West), Bhutan, Nepal and Tibet?? 1.1) Will it be within the British, portuguese (up until 1961) or French (up until 1954) controlled area of India

2) While it involve a lot of travelling within India.

3) A bit of a spoiler here (feel free to skip it) but mostly mortal or mythos opponent? 3.1) a bit in the same line: One big vilain or a villain group

4) Will we ever going to see the 2 kids introduced in the 1st (and seen again in the 2nd AoC) again?

1) No, unfortunately I was working with a word count ceiling that I ended out breaking by an additional 5,000 words. You're correct that there is a small gazetteer, but there's nothing on her neighbors.

1.1) The time period is the spring or summer in the late 1920's. I left it ambiguous on purpose so a Keeper could fit it into an existing campaign, if they so desire.

2) Yes, so pack light.

3) Hmm... both?

3.1) Group. The more the merrier, right?

4) You know, I too would love to see a return of the twins, but I did not want to step on Harley's toes. So, alas, they are not a part of this adventure.

I'd love to hear from anyone who's picked-up Timeless Sands of India. I'm curious as to your thoughts; is there anything you were hoping to see, or things you'd prefere wasn't included?

It's a great product, I love the way we lead into the adventure and the mini-Gazetteer. Overall, a great adventure.

3 minor things though (CAREFUL POTENTIAL SPOILER). 1) You indicate where and how Investigator from the West and Africa get's to India, but not how investigator in Japan or Australia can get there...granted we can always work this out.2) The chapters and corresponding map don't match up. The maps are one chapter ahead from the actual chapter. For exemple the Train trip in Chapter 4; the correspondant map has everything label 5-x etc.3) In the hospital, when you see the man in the straigth jacket babbling. The Text refer to the remembered dream's fragment, but that specific scene is not part of the 10 fragments.

Again minor things, that takes nothing out of the enjoyment on the module.

1) Yes, sorry. I thought about including a route from the East, but dropped it due to the fact that if investigators are coming from the East, unless they were already in the West for some prior reason, they would not be on the Bancura at the beginning of the adventure. If you have players who want to begin the game originating from the East, then I would have them meet the other players in Calcutta after the Bancura has docked.

2) Yes, foul-up during editing and proof reading. I condensed two chapters together into one, and that effected the numbering of the maps that had already been drawn and numbered. I take full responsibility for that one, for sure.

3) Another foul-up on my part. I think it my head it made sense, but I don't think I made it clear-cut in the text. Lessoned learned there, for sure.

I figured it was a space constraint and editing incident.

But as I said, it's an excellent product and I love it...I especially love the fact that you explore sector of the word that are not covered in Chaosium product.

Maybe a Black Africa or South Africa adventure could be fun too for AoC 8
